Happy Friday! How’d your week go?
Hopefully it was amazing! But if it wasn’t and some guy at work stole all your creamer or a hoochie is trying to steal your boyfriend I have something that can help ya below.
Today is all about Friday Favorites = the random, not helpful, but potentially interesting things that make me smile.
1. An apple a day keeps the doctor away. What do two apples a day mean? (I hope they don’t cancel each other out because I can’t stop eating them.)
2. Eggs on salad. With chips. I like the weirdest things, but you gotta march to your own lil drummer.
3. Popcorn. Every time I go to Target and leave without buying popcorn I consider it a small victory. (Note: Those victories don’t happen often.) When I do leave without popcorn I make my own.
4. My mom’s neighbor gave us a bunch of apple-bananas. It’s like a banana, but better. Creamier. Apple-y. Delicious.
Don’t be scared of them! Tip: They are best a little brown.

5. “Let’s Pretend This Never Happened” by The Bloggess. I read it on the way back from Florida a few weeks back (hence the airport pic and snacks). Um, hilarious.
6. Sht Senders – you can send a gallon of crap to your enemy. This is a real thing. Don’t send me any because I freakin’ helped you out by letting you know this for your other enemies.
7. Felina. Breaking Bad fans – did you hear that the last episode was named after this song “El Paso” and it tells the story of the whole show?!
Bonus: It’s about a Mexican girl (believe it represents meth) and it made me miss it all over again.
“El Paso” scene in Breaking Bad plus the rest of it from Bonnie Rose on Vimeo.
Question: What’s your favorite thing this week?
Like apple-bananas? Mexican girls named Felina?
Clarinda says
I’ve never even heard of apple-bananas! I love bananas, but am not a huge fan of apples, so I wonder if I’d like them. Hmmm…
Angelica says
LOL I love the fact that you used “hoochie” That’s a west coast thing. I never hear it on the east coast and it makes me miss home
MaryJo says
You should link to the Bloggess website, she’s truly amazing.
runeatrepeat says
Totally meant to do that when I was editing. I’ll update 🙂
Angela @ Eat Spin Run Repeat says
Ooh so many great things happening here! Apple bananas are new to me, but I’m VERY familiar with apples and like you, have been eating tons! Honeycrisp and pink lady are by far my faves. And eggs on salad? YES! My favourite thing this week…. there are many, but one of the biggest was a solid week of awesome running. I struggle with anemia but my running has been feeling amazing lately! 🙂
Emily @Sinful Nutrition says
Oh my gosh, I have you beat at up to 4 apples a day! One at every meal and a snack. I know, I’m addicted. That apple banana sounds intriguing, do you know where to buy them?
Liz @ Carpe Diem and Run says
Omigosh that website is hysterical!
Bethany says
Favorite thing this week was running the Portland Marathon. I love apples. I usually dip them in caramel sauce as a treat.
Jessica R @ fromthekitchentotheroad says
I have never heard of apple-bananas… I almost don’t believe they exist. That sh*tsenders thing is disgusting and hilarious. Mostly disgusting, though.
Krissy says
I must find these apple-bananas!
Jodea @ chillichocolatelove says
My favourite thing this week is not being at work!
Kailin @ Logs and Thoughts says
Favorite thing this week so far is the Ironman World Championships hype. I’m loving being able to enjoy the hype without the stress of actually racing. But I think today will be my favorite day since the plan is to ride lots of miles with a group of pro women who didn’t make the Kona cut. Hopefully my legs are ready!
Angelica says
The song is called “El Paso” by Marty Robbins. It’s one of my favorite songs, partly because I am a Mexican girl who was born in El Paso. 😉 I called it when I heard the name of the finale (“finale” being an anagram of Felina) and confirmed it when Walt found the cassette in the stolen car. It was a beautiful, bittersweet tie-in.
Angelica says
“Tonight nothing’s worse than this
Pain in my heart”
You and me, both, Heisenberg.
runeatrepeat says
Thanks! I updated the song name 🙂
Amanda says
Oddly enough, I had a banana apple for the first time the other day. It smells exactly like a banana, but it still tastes like an apple.
Ashley says
My favorite thing this week is feeling healthier again 🙂
and seriously, sending sh*t? I don’t know if I should be impressed or start watching out for packages…
Caroline @ Adventures in Living Lean says
I have two favorites this week! I found a running buddy in a neighbor, and the new book in one of my favorite series came out Tuesday (I have already finished it).
TartanJogger tartanjogger.com says
Fantastic fave stuff!
My fave from this week has been…. booking a sunshine holiday to Tenerife for next June/July.
Yay! Something to look forward to! 😀
C. says
OMG shit selling. Who knew!
Katie M says
I think eating 2 apples a day will cancel out any senders sending you their poo. You’re good.
runeatrepeat says
Whew! Good to hear 🙂
Sarah G. says
I wish there was Shit Senders back when I was in highschool…
Favorite thing this week is accomplishing a goal I never thought would happen – cooking every single meal/snack/etc. and keeping it clean Monday-Friday. I am most definitely treating myself to something delicious (and not made by me!) tonight.
Rebecca Jo says
Apple Bananas? What the heck is this crazy invention?!?!??!
Sara @ LovingOnTheRun says
I didn’t even know such thing as an apple-banana existed but now you have peeked my interest!
My favorite thing this week is getting ready to go to Chicago to cheer the hubs on in his marathon! He’s worked harder this season than I’ve ever seen him – hoping he breaks 2:30 that he wants!! Can’t wait to be the cheerleader for the weekend!
Jackie says
I’ve never had an apple banana! My favorite thing this week has been relaxing in the evenings!
Ray says
I wish they have concentrated apple pills with all the goodness in it, I can’t stand chewing the skin… 🙁 I’m not 5 y.o. btw.
runeatrepeat says
Awwww sweetie, have your mom peel it before she packs your lunch 😉

Sophie @ life's philosophie says
As long as you eat an odd number of apples daily, the doctor will stay away (at least that’s the rule I lived off of in middle school).
Elise @ 9toFit.com says
Never tried apple-bananas, but I’m going to take your word for it and try some
Ashley @ Eat Run Live Happy says
I am going to call you a copy cat. I put eggs in my salad and chips or pretzels all the time. The best is when you fry the egg where the white is cooked but the yellow is runny…. it’s like extra dressing.
runeatrepeat says
I’m going to call you a copy cat because I’ve really been doing this for years, but still think it’s funny every time 🙂 Totally agree about the yolk but I was lazy.
Alicia S says
Really?? A website from which you can send sh*t? now I’ve seen it all.
rhonda says
That book was SOOOO hilarious! I’m not sure I could have read it on a plane because I laughed out loud so much!! …now I want an apple…
runeatrepeat says
or two apples…
christa says
I’ve been eating at least an apple a day sometimes 2, they are so good right now, fresh of the trees.
Jojo says
lol you can send elephant dung?! Are the owners of the company from a zoo?
meredith @ The Cookie ChRUNicles says
I am all about two apples a day. I am surprised I don’t eat three a day…I love that revenge site, I must check it out! lol
Livi says
favorite thing this week has to be pumpkin bread! fall in a bite 🙂
Hannah says
Did my first half marathon ever last weekend – it was a lot easier and faster than I thought, and I actually enjoyed it (!) and have been on a high ever since. So it’s been a very good week!
Always one to get carried away, I’ve signed up for two more halves and a marathon for next year. I’m assuming twice the length = feel twice as good afterwards….right?
I want some popcorn now!!
runeatrepeat says
I don’t know if that logic works for the full versus half, but go for it!
Lorin says
I feel like I’m looking into the future because it’s still Thursday..although I realize this is probably an automated posting. My favorite thing is hitting all the green lights when I biked to school!
runeatrepeat says
Ha! It wasn’t an auto post I was just writing it and decided to push it through 🙂 (Or maybe I have a time machine…)
Sue says
Closed a deal yesterday and snagged another one! That calls for double celeb this weekend! This weekend will be awesome as I track friends doing the Chi-Town and Melbourne marathons as well as the local 12-hour Back 2 Endurance race.
runeatrepeat says
Congrats!
Ali says
Honestly, my favourite thing this week is Nyquil! I’ve been a bit under the weather. Also, that sh*t-selling website is brilliant.
runeatrepeat says
That’s a good one! I probably need some Dayquil today. My cold will not go away.
Mary says
Hahaha! My favourite thing this week is that there is a site where you can send real shit to your enemies!!!
